How does Chandler win defensive player of the year and make second team?

How the hell does Dwight Howard get more votes then Chandler. They weren't in the same league this year and Howard was also injured. Maybe when they present him with the award instead of a trophy they will give him a lollipop.

It is a joke. Hell, Ibaka is getting better and is a great shot blocker, but he isn't a great defensive player.

I would just put Chandler in there and move Howard to the 2nd team, otherwise I agree with the selections. Ibaka was a pretty good overall defender this year combined with Perkins. His blocks per game of 3.7 is huge, and it tied Theo Ratliff(2001)with the highest blocks per game since Alonzo Mourning in 1999 at 3.9.
